When we create out of our experiences, as feminists of color, women of color, we have to develop those structures that will present and circulate our culture. – Audre Lorde
Remember, as long as you live, that nothing but strict truth can carry you through the world, with either your conscience or your honor unwounded. – Lord Chesterfield
